BACKGROUND Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to active compound combinations, inparticular within a fungicide composition, which comprises (A) athiazolylisoxazoline of formula (I) and a further fungicidally activecompound (B). Moreover, the invention relates to a method for curativelyor preventively controlling the phytopathogenic fungi of plants orcrops, to the use of a combination according to the invention for thetreatment of seed, to a method for protecting a seed and not at least tothe treated seed.

Description of Related Art

It is already known that certain thiazolylisoxazolines can be used asfungicides (see WO2008/013925, WO2008/013622, WO2009/094407,WO2009/094445, WO2009/055514, WO2010/065579, WO2011/85170, and WO2011/076699).

Since the ecological and economic demands made on modem activeingredients, for example fungicides, are increasing constantly, forexample with respect to activity spectrum, toxicity, selectivity,application rate, formation of residues and favourable manufacture, andthere can also be problems, for example, with resistances, there is aconstant need to develop novel fungicidal compositions which haveadvantages over the known compositions at least in some areas.

The present invention provides active compound combinations/compositionswhich in some aspects at least achieve the stated objective.

SUMMARY

It has now been found, surprisingly, that the combinations according tothe invention not only bring about the additive enhancement of thespectrum of action with respect to the phytopathogen to be controlledthat was in principle to be expected but achieves a synergistic effectwhich extends the range of action of the component (A) and of thecomponent (B) in two ways. Firstly, the rates of application of thecomponent (A) and of the component (B) are lowered whilst the actionremains equally good. Secondly, the combination still achieves a highdegree of phytopathogen control even where the two individual compoundshave become totally ineffective in such a low application rate range.This allows, on the one hand, a substantial broadening of the spectrumof phytopathogens that can be controlled and, on the other hand,increased safety in use.

In addition to the fungicidal synergistic activity, the active compoundcombinations according to the invention have further surprisingproperties which, in a wider sense, may also be called synergistic, suchas, for example: broadening of the activity spectrum to otherphytopathogens, for example to resistant strains of plant diseases;lower application rates of the active compounds; sufficient control ofpests with the aid of the active compound combinations according to theinvention even at application rates where the individual compounds showno or virtually no activity; advantageous behaviour during formulationor during use, for example during grinding, sieving, emulsifying,dissolving or dispensing; improved storage stability and lightstability; advantageous residue formation; improved toxicological orecotoxicological behaviour; improved properties of the plant, forexample better growth, increased harvest yields, a better developed rootsystem, a larger leaf area, greener leaves, stronger shoots, less seedrequired, lower phytotoxicity, mobilization of the defence system of theplant, good compatibility with plants. Thus, the use of the activecompound combinations or compositions according to the inventioncontributes considerably to keeping young cereal stands healthy, whichincreases, for example, the winter survival of the cereal seed treated,and also safeguards quality and yield. Moreover, the active compoundcombinations according to the invention may contribute to enhancedsystemic action. Even if the individual compounds of the combinationhave no sufficient systemic properties, the active compound combinationsaccording to the invention may still have this property. In a similarmanner, the active compound combinations according to the invention mayresult in higher persistency of the fungicidal action.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a combination comprising:

(A) at least one thiazolylisoxazoline of formula (I)

Plant Growth Regulation

In some cases, the inventive compositions can, at particularconcentrations or application rates, also be used as herbicides,safeners, growth regulators or agents to improve plant properties, or asmicrobicides, for example as fungicides, antimycotics, bactericides,viricides (including compositions against viroids) or as compositionsagainst MLO (Mycoplasma-like organisms) and RLO (Rickettsia-likeorganisms). If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates orprecursors for the synthesis of other active ingredients.

The inventive active combinations intervene in the metabolism of theplants and can therefore also be used as growth regulators.

Plant growth regulators may exert various effects on plants. The effectof the substances depends essentially on the time of application inrelation to the developmental stage of the plant, and also on theamounts of active ingredient applied to the plants or their environmentand on the type of application. In each case, growth regulators shouldhave a particular desired effect on the crop plants.

Plant growth-regulating compounds can be used, for example, to inhibitthe vegetative growth of the plants. Such inhibition of growth is ofeconomic interest, for example, in the case of grasses, since it is thuspossible to reduce the frequency of grass cutting in ornamental gardens,parks and sport facilities, on roadsides, at airports or in fruit crops.Also of significance is the inhibition of the growth of herbaceous andwoody plants on roadsides and in the vicinity of pipelines or overheadcables, or quite generally in areas where vigorous plant growth isunwanted.

Also important is the use of growth regulators for inhibition of thelongitudinal growth of cereal. This reduces or completely eliminates therisk of lodging of the plants prior to harvest. In addition, growthregulators in the case of cereals can strengthen the culm, which alsocounteracts lodging. The employment of growth regulators for shorteningand strengthening culms allows the deployment of higher fertilizervolumes to increase the yield, without any risk of lodging of the cerealcrop.

In many crop plants, inhibition of vegetative growth allows denserplanting, and it is thus possible to achieve higher yields based on thesoil surface. Another advantage of the smaller plants obtained in thisway is that the crop is easier to cultivate and harvest.

Inhibition of the vegetative plant growth may also lead to enhancedyields because the nutrients and assimilates are of more benefit toflower and fruit formation than to the vegetative parts of the plants.

Frequently, growth regulators can also be used to promote vegetativegrowth. This is of great benefit when harvesting the vegetative plantparts. However, promoting vegetative growth may also promote generativegrowth in that more assimilates are formed, resulting in more or largerfruits.

In some cases, yield increases may be achieved by manipulating themetabolism of the plant, without any detectable changes in vegetativegrowth. In addition, growth regulators can be used to alter thecomposition of the plants, which in turn may result in an improvement inquality of the harvested products. For example, it is possible toincrease the sugar content in sugar beet, sugar cane, pineapples and incitrus fruit, or to increase the protein content in soya or cereals. Itis also possible, for example, to use growth regulators to inhibit thedegradation of desirable ingredients, for example sugar in sugarbeet orsugar cane, before or after harvest. It is also possible to positivelyinfluence the production or the elimination of secondary plantingredients. One example is the stimulation of the flow of latex inrubber trees.

Under the influence of growth regulators, parthenocarpic fruits may beformed. In addition, it is possible to influence the sex of the flowers.It is also possible to produce sterile pollen, which is of greatimportance in the breeding and production of hybrid seed.

Use of growth regulators can control the branching of the plants. On theone hand, by breaking apical dominance, it is possible to promote thedevelopment of side shoots, which may be highly desirable particularlyin the cultivation of ornamental plants, also in combination with aninhibition of growth. On the other hand, however, it is also possible toinhibit the growth of the side shoots. This effect is of particularinterest, for example, in the cultivation of tobacco or in thecultivation of tomatoes.

Under the influence of growth regulators, the amount of leaves on theplants can be controlled such that defoliation of the plants is achievedat a desired time. Such defoliation plays a major role in the mechanicalharvesting of cotton, but is also of interest for facilitatingharvesting in other crops, for example in viticulture.

Defoliation of the plants can also be undertaken to lower thetranspiration of the plants before they are transplanted.

Growth regulators can likewise be used to regulate fruit dehiscence. Onthe one hand, it is possible to prevent premature fruit dehiscence. Onthe other hand, it is also possible to promote fruit dehiscence or evenflower abortion to achieve a desired mass (“thinning”), in order toeliminate alternation. Alternation is understood to mean thecharacteristic of some fruit species, for endogenous reasons, to deliververy different yields from year to year. Finally, it is possible to usegrowth regulators at the time of harvest to reduce the forces requiredto detach the fruits, in order to allow mechanical harvesting or tofacilitate manual harvesting.

Growth regulators can also be used to achieve faster or else delayedripening of the harvested material before or after harvest. This isparticularly advantageous as it allows optimal adjustment to therequirements of the market. Moreover, growth regulators in some casescan improve the fruit colour. In addition, growth regulators can also beused to concentrate maturation within a certain period of time. Thisestablishes the prerequisites for complete mechanical or manualharvesting in a single operation, for example in the case of tobacco,tomatoes or coffee.

By using growth regulators, it is additionally possible to influence theresting of seed or buds of the plants, such that plants such aspineapple or ornamental plants in nurseries, for example, germinate,sprout or flower at a time when they are normally not inclined to do so.In areas where there is a risk of frost, it may be desirable to delaybudding or germination of seeds with the aid of growth regulators, inorder to avoid damage resulting from late frosts.

Finally, growth regulators can induce resistance of the plants to frost,drought or high salinity of the soil. This allows the cultivation ofplants in regions which are normally unsuitable for this purpose.

Resistance Induction/Plant Health and Other Effects

The active combinations according to the invention also exhibit a potentstrengthening effect in plants. Accordingly, they can be used formobilizing the defences of the plant against attack by undesirablemicroorganisms.

Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to beunderstood as meaning, in the present context, those substances whichare capable of stimulating the defence system of plants in such a waythat the treated plants, when subsequently inoculated with undesirablemicroorganisms, develop a high degree of resistance to thesemicroorganisms.

The active combinations according to the invention are also suitable forincreasing the yield of crops. In addition, they show reduced toxicityand are well tolerated by plants.

Further, in context with the present invention plant physiology effectscomprise the following: Abiotic stress tolerance, comprising temperaturetolerance, drought tolerance and recovery after drought stress, wateruse efficiency (correlating to reduced water consumption), floodtolerance, ozone stress and UV tolerance, tolerance towards chemicalslike heavy metals, salts, pesticides (safener) etc.

Delayed senescence, comprising improvement of plant physiology which ismanifested, for example, in a longer grain filling phase, leading tohigher yield, a longer duration of green leaf colouration of the plantand thus comprising colour (greening), water content, dryness etc.Accordingly, in the context of the present invention, it has been foundthat the specific inventive application of the active compoundcombination makes it possible to prolong the green leaf area duration,which delays the maturation (senescence) of the plant. The mainadvantage to the farmer is a longer grain filling phase leading tohigher yield. There is also an advantage to the farmer on the basis ofgreater flexibility in the harvesting time.

Therein “sedimentation value” is a measure for protein quality anddescribes according to Zeleny (Zeleny value) the degree of sedimentationof flour suspended in a lactic acid solution during a standard timeinterval.

This is taken as a measure of the baking quality. Swelling of the glutenfraction of flour in lactic acid solution affects the rate ofsedimentation of a flour suspension. Both a higher gluten content and abetter gluten quality give rise to slower sedimentation and higherZeleny test values. The sedimentation value of flour depends on thewheat protein composition and is mostly correlated to the proteincontent, the wheat hardness, and the volume of pan and hearth loaves. Astronger correlation between loaf volume and Zeleny sedimentation volumecompared to SDS sedimentation volume could be due to the protein contentinfluencing both the volume and Zeleny value (Czech J. Food Sci. Vol.21, No. 3: 91-96, 2000).

Further the “falling number” as mentioned herein is a measure for thebaking quality of cereals, especially of wheat. The falling number testindicates that sprout damage may have occurred. It means that changes tothe physical properties of the starch portion of the wheat kernel hasalready happened. Therein, the falling number instrument analyzesviscosity by measuring the resistance of a flour and water paste to afalling plunger. The time (in seconds) for this to happen is known asthe falling number. The falling number results are recorded as an indexof enzyme activity in a wheat or flour sample and results are expressedin time as seconds. A high falling number (for example, above 300seconds) indicates minimal enzyme activity and sound quality wheat orflour. A low falling number (for example, below 250 seconds) indicatessubstantial enzyme activity and sprout-damaged wheat or flour.

The term “more developed root system”/“improved root growth” refers tolonger root system, deeper root growth, faster root growth, higher rootdry/fresh weight, higher root volume, larger root surface area, biggerroot diameter, higher root stability, more root branching, higher numberof root hairs, and/or more root tips and can be measured by analyzingthe root architecture with suitable methodologies and Image analysisprogrammes (e.g. WinRhizo).

The term “crop water use efficiency” refers technically to the mass ofagriculture produce per unit water consumed and economically to thevalue of product(s) produced per unit water volume consumed and can e.g.be measured in terms of yield per ha, biomass of the plants,thousand-kernel mass, and the number of ears per m2.

The term “nitrogen-use efficiency” refers technically to the mass ofagriculture produce per unit nitrogen consumed and economically to thevalue of product(s) produced per unit nitrogen consumed, reflectinguptake and utilization efficiency.

Improvement in greening/improved colour and improved photosyntheticefficiency as well as the delay of senescence can be measured withwell-known techniques such as a HandyPea system (Hansatech). Fv/Fm is aparameter widely used to indicate the maximum quantum efficiency ofphotosystem II (PSII). This parameter is widely considered to be aselective indication of plant photosynthetic performance with healthysamples typically achieving a maximum Fv/Fm value of approx. 0.85.Values lower than this will be observed if a sample has been exposed tosome type of biotic or abiotic stress factor which has reduced thecapacity for photochemical quenching of energy within PSII. Fv/Fm ispresented as a ratio of variable fluorescence (Fv) over the maximumfluorescence value (Fm). The Performance Index is essentially anindicator of sample vitality. (See e.g. Advanced Techniques in SoilMicrobiology, 2007, 11, 319-341; Applied Soil

Ecology, 2000, 15, 169-182.) The improvement in greening/improved colourand improved photosynthetic efficiency as well as the delay ofsenescence can also be assessed by measurement of the net photosyntheticrate (Pn), measurement of the chlorophyll content, e.g. by the pigmentextraction method of Ziegler and Ehle, measurement of the photochemicalefficiency (Fv/Fm ratio), determination of shoot growth and final rootand/or canopy biomass, determination of tiller density as well as ofroot mortality.

Within the context of the present invention preference is given toimproving plant physiology effects which are selected from the groupcomprising: enhanced root growth/more developed root system, improvedgreening, improved water use efficiency (correlating to reduced waterconsumption), improved nutrient use efficiency, comprising especiallyimproved nitrogen (N)-use efficiency, delayed senescence and enhancedyield.

Within the enhancement of yield preference is given as to an improvementin the sedimentation value and the falling number as well as to theimprovement of the protein and sugar content—especially with plantsselected from the group of cereals (preferably wheat).

Preferably the novel use of the fungicidal compositions of the presentinvention relates to a combined use of a) preventively and/or curativelycontrolling pathogenic fungi and/or nematodes, with or withoutresistance management, and b) at least one of enhanced root growth,improved greening, improved water use efficiency, delayed senescence andenhanced yield. From group b) enhancement of root system, water useefficiency and N-use efficiency is particularly preferred.

Seed Treatment

The invention further comprises a method for treating seed.

The invention further relates to seed which has been treated by one ofthe methods described in the previous paragraph. The inventive seeds areemployed in methods for the protection of seed from unwantedmicroorganisms. In these methods, seed treated with at least oneinventive active ingredient is used.

The inventive compositions are also suitable for treating seed. A largepart of the damage to crop plants caused by harmful organisms istriggered by the infection of the seed during storage or after sowing,and also during and after germination of the plant. This phase isparticularly critical since the roots and shoots of the growing plantare particularly sensitive, and even minor damage may result in thedeath of the plant. There is therefore a great interest in protectingthe seed and the germinating plant by using appropriate compositions.

The control of phytopathogenic fungi by treating the seed of plants hasbeen known for a long time and is the subject of constant improvements.However, the treatment of seed entails a series of problems which cannotalways be solved in a satisfactory manner. For instance, it is desirableto develop methods for protecting the seed and the germinating plant,which dispense with, or at least significantly reduce, the additionaldeployment of crop protection compositions after planting or afteremergence of the plants. It is also desirable to optimize the amount ofthe active ingredient used so as to provide the best possible protectionfor the seed and the germinating plant from attack by phytopathogenicfungi, but without damaging the plant itself by the active ingredientemployed. In particular, methods for the treatment of seed should alsotake account of the intrinsic fungicidal properties of transgenic plantsin order to achieve optimal protection of the seed and the germinatingplant with a minimum expenditure of crop protection compositions.

The present invention therefore also relates to a method for protectionof seed and germinating plants from attack by phytopathogenic fungi, bytreating the seed with an inventive composition. The invention likewiserelates to the use of the inventive compositions for treatment of seedto protect the seed and the germinating plant from phytopathogenicfungi. The invention further relates to seed which has been treated withan inventive composition for protection from phytopathogenic fungi.

The control of phytopathogenic fungi which damage plants post-emergenceis effected primarily by treating the soil and the above-ground parts ofplants with crop protection compositions. Owing to the concernsregarding a possible influence of the crop protection compositions onthe environment and the health of humans and animals, there are effortsto reduce the amount of active ingredients deployed.

One of the advantages of the present invention is that the particularsystemic properties of the inventive active ingredients and compositionsmean that treatment of the seed with these active ingredients andcompositions not only protects the seed itself, but also the resultingplants after emergence, from phytopathogenic fungi. In this way, theimmediate treatment of the crop at the time of sowing or shortlythereafter can be dispensed with.

It is likewise considered to be advantageous that the inventivecompositions can especially also be used with transgenic seed, in whichcase the plant growing from this seed is capable of expressing a proteinwhich acts against pests. By virtue of the treatment of such seed withthe inventive active ingredients or compositions, merely the expressionof the protein, for example an insecticidal protein, can control certainpests. Surprisingly, a further synergistic effect can be observed inthis case, which additionally increases the effectiveness for protectionagainst attack by pests.

The inventive compositions are suitable for protecting seed of any plantvariety which is used in agriculture, in greenhouses, in forests or inhorticulture and viticulture. In particular, this is the seed of cereals(such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale, sorghum/millet and oats), maize,cotton, soya beans, rice, potatoes, sunflower, bean, coffee, beet (forexample sugar beet and fodder beet), peanut, oilseed rape, poppy, olive,coconut, cocoa, sugar cane, tobacco, vegetables (such as tomato,cucumbers, onions and lettuce), turf and ornamentals (see also below).The treatment of the seed of cereals (such as wheat, barley, rye,triticale and oats), maize and rice is of particular significance.

As also described below, the treatment of transgenic seed with theinventive active ingredients or compositions is of particularsignificance. This relates to the seed of plants containing at least oneheterologous gene which enables the expression of a polypeptide orprotein having insecticidal properties. The heterologous gene intransgenic seed can originate, for example, from microorganisms of thespecies Bacillus, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Trichoderma,Clavibacter, Glomus or Gliocladium. This heterologous gene preferablyoriginates from Bacillus sp., in which case the gene product iseffective against the European maize borer and/or the Western maizerootworm. The heterologous gene more preferably originates from Bacillusthuringiensis.

In the context of the present invention, the inventive composition isapplied to the seed alone or in a suitable formulation. Preferably, theseed is treated in a state in which it is sufficiently stable for nodamage to occur in the course of treatment. In general, the seed can betreated at any time between harvest and sowing. It is customary to useseed which has been separated from the plant and freed from cobs,shells, stalks, coats, hairs or the flesh of the fruits. For example, itis possible to use seed which has been harvested, cleaned and dried downto a moisture content of less than 15% by weight. Alternatively, it isalso possible to use seed which, after drying, for example, has beentreated with water and then dried again.

When treating the seed, care must generally be taken that the amount ofthe inventive composition applied to the seed and/or the amount offurther additives is selected such that the germination of the seed isnot impaired, or that the resulting plant is not damaged. This has to beborne in mind in particular in the case of active ingredients which canhave phytotoxic effects at certain application rates.

The inventive compositions can be applied directly, i.e. withoutcontaining any other components and without having been diluted. Ingeneral, it is preferable to apply the compositions to the seed in theform of a suitable formulation. Suitable formulations and methods forseed treatment are known to those skilled in the art and are described,for example, in the following documents: U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,272,417,4,245,432, 4,808,430, 5,876,739, US 2003/0176428 A1, WO 2002/080675, WO2002/028186.

The active ingredients usable in accordance with the invention can beconverted to the customary seed dressing formulations, such assolutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, slurries or othercoating compositions for seed, and also ULV formulations.

These formulations are prepared in a known manner, by mixing the activeingredients with customary additives, for example customary extendersand also solvents or diluents, dyes, wetting agents, dispersants,emulsifiers, antifoams, preservatives, secondary thickeners, adhesives,gibberellins and also water.

Useful dyes which may be present in the seed dressing formulationsusable in accordance with the invention are all dyes which are customaryfor such purposes. It is possible to use either pigments, which aresparingly soluble in water, or dyes, which are soluble in water.Examples include the dyes known by the names Rhodamine B, C.I. PigmentRed 112 and C.I. Solvent Red 1.

Useful wetting agents which may be present in the seed dressingformulations usable in accordance with the invention are all substanceswhich promote wetting and which are conventionally used for theformulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Preference is given tousing alkyl naphthalenesulphonates, such as diisopropyl or diisobutylnaphthalenesulphonates.

Useful dispersants and/or emulsifiers which may be present in the seeddressing formulations usable in accordance with the invention are allnonionic, anionic and cationic dispersants conventionally used for theformulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Usable with preferenceare nonionic or anionic dispersants or mixtures of nonionic or anionicdispersants. Suitable nonionic dispersants include especially ethyleneoxide/propylene oxide block polymers, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers andtristryrylphenol polyglycol ether, and the phosphated or sulphatedderivatives thereof. Suitable anionic dispersants are especiallylignosulphonates, polyacrylic acid salts and arylsulphonate/formaldehydecondensates.

Antifoams which may be present in the seed dressing formulations usablein accordance with the invention are all foam-inhibiting substancesconventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemicalingredients. Silicone antifoams and magnesium stearate can be used withpreference.

Preservatives which may be present in the seed dressing formulationsusable in accordance with the invention are all substances usable forsuch purposes in agrochemical compositions. Examples includedichlorophene and benzyl alcohol hemiformal.

Secondary thickeners which may be present in the seed dressingformulations usable in accordance with the invention are all substancesusable for such purposes in agrochemical compositions. Preferredexamples include cellulose derivatives, acrylic acid derivatives,xanthan, modified clays and finely divided silica.

Adhesives which may be present in the seed dressing formulations usablein accordance with the invention are all customary binders usable inseed dressing products. Preferred examples include polyvinylpyrrolidone,polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and tylose.

The gibberellins which may be present in the seed dressing formulationsusable in accordance with the invention may preferably be gibberellinsA1, A3 (=gibberellic acid), A4 and A7; particular preference is given tousing gibberellic acid. The gibberellins are known (cf. R. Wegler“Chemie der Pflanzenschutz-und Sclhidlingsbekimpfungsmittel” [Chemistryof the Crop Protection Compositions and Pesticides], vol. 2, SpringerVerlag, 1970, p. 401-412).

The seed dressing formulations usable in accordance with the inventioncan be used, either directly or after previously having been dilutedwith water, for the treatment of a wide range of different seed,including the seed of transgenic plants. In this case, additionalsynergistic effects may also occur in interaction with the substancesformed by expression.

For treatment of seed with the seed dressing formulations usable inaccordance with the invention, or the preparations prepared therefrom byadding water, all mixing units usable customarily for the seed dressingare useful. Specifically, the procedure in the seed dressing is to placethe seed into a mixer, to add the particular desired amount of seeddressing formulations, either as such or after prior dilution withwater, and to mix everything until the formulation is distributedhomogeneously on the seed. If appropriate, this is followed by a dryingprocess.

Mycotoxins

In addition, the inventive treatment can reduce the mycotoxin content inthe harvested material and the foods and feeds prepared therefrom.Mycotoxins include particularly, but not exclusively, the following:deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol, 15-Ac-DON, 3-Ac-DON, T2- and HT2-toxin,fumonisins, zearalenon, moniliformin, fusarin, diaceotoxyscirpenol(DAS), beauvericin, enniatin, fusaroproliferin, fusarenol, ochratoxins,patulin, ergot alkaloids and aflatoxins which can be produced, forexample, by the following fungi: Fusarium spec., such as F. acuminatum,F. asiaticum, F. avenaceum, F. crookwellense, F. culmorum, F.graminearum (Gibberella zeae), F. equiseti, F. fijikoroi, F. musarum, F.oxysporum, F. proliferatum, F. poae, F. pseudograminearum, F.sambucinum, F. scirpi, F. semitectum, F. solani, F. sporotrichoides, F.langsethiae, F. subglutinans, F. tricinctum, F. verticillioides etc.,and also by Aspergillus spec., such as A. flavus, A. parasiticus, A.nomius, A. ochraceus, A. clavatus, A. terreus, A. versicolor,Penicillium spec., such as P. verrucosum, P. viridicatum, P. citrinum,P. expansum, P. claviforme, P. roqueforti, Claviceps spec., such as C.purpurea, C. fisiformis, C. paspali, C. africana, Stachybotrys spec. andothers.

Material Protection

The inventive compositions can also be used in the protection ofmaterials, for protection of industrial materials against attack anddestruction by unwanted microorganisms, for example fungi and insects.

In addition, the inventive combinations can be used as antifoulingcompositions, alone or in combinations with other active ingredients.

Industrial materials in the present context are understood to meaninanimate materials which have been prepared for use in industry. Forexample, industrial materials which are to be protected by inventiveactive ingredients from microbial alteration or destruction may beadhesives, glues, paper, wallpaper and board/cardboard, textiles,carpets, leather, wood, fibers and tissues, paints and plastic articles,cooling lubricants and other materials which can be infected with ordestroyed by microorganisms. Parts of production plants and buildings,for example cooling-water circuits, cooling and heating systems andventilation and air-conditioning units, which may be impaired by theproliferation of microorganisms may also be mentioned within the scopeof the materials to be protected. Industrial materials within the scopeof the present invention preferably include adhesives, sizes, paper andcard, leather, wood, paints, cooling lubricants and heat transferfluids, more preferably wood.

The inventive active combinations may prevent adverse effects, such asrotting, decay, discoloration, decoloration or formation of mould.

In the case of treatment of wood the compositions according to theinvention may also be used against fungal diseases liable to grow on orinside timber. The term “timber” means all types of species of wood, andall types of working of this wood intended for construction, for examplesolid wood, high-density wood, laminated wood, and plywood. The methodfor treating timber according to the invention mainly consists incontacting one or more compounds according to the invention or acomposition according to the invention; this includes for example directapplication, spraying, dipping, injection or any other suitable means.

In addition, the inventive combinations can be used to protect objectswhich come into contact with saltwater or brackish water, especiallyhulls, screens, nets, buildings, moorings and signalling systems, fromfouling.

The inventive method for controlling unwanted fungi can also be employedfor protecting storage goods. Storage goods are understood to meannatural substances of vegetable or animal origin or processed productsthereof which are of natural origin, and for which long-term protectionis desired. Storage goods of vegetable origin, for example plants orplant parts, such as stems, leaves, tubers, seeds, fruits, grains, canbe protected freshly harvested or after processing by (pre)drying,moistening, comminuting, grinding, pressing or roasting. Storage goodsalso include timber, both unprocessed, such as construction timber,electricity poles and barriers, or in the form of finished products,such as furniture. Storage goods of animal origin are, for example,hides, leather, furs and hairs. The inventive active ingredients mayprevent adverse effects, such as rotting, decay, discoloration,decoloration or formation of mould.

Microorganisms capable of degrading or altering the industrial materialsinclude, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slimeorganisms. The inventive active ingredients preferably act againstfungi, especially moulds, wood-discoloring and wood-destroying fungi(Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes and Zygomycetes), andagainst slime organisms and algae. Examples include microorganisms ofthe following genera: Alternaria, such as Alternaria tenuis;Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus niger; Chaetomium, such as Chaetomiumglobosum; Coniophora, such as Coniophora puetana; Lentinus, such asLentinus tigrinus; Penicillium, such as Penicillium glaucum; Polyporus,such as Polyporus versicolor; Aureobasidium, such as Aureobasidiumpullulans; Sclerophoma, such as Sclerophoma pityophila; Trichoderma,such as Trichoderma viride; Ophiostoma spp., Ceratocystis spp., Humicolaspp., Petriella spp., Trichurus spp., Coriolus spp., Gloeophyllum spp.,Pleurotus spp., Poria spp., Serpula spp. and Tyromyces spp.,Cladosporium spp., Paecilomyces spp. hMucor spp., Escherichia, such asEscherichia coli; Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa;Staphylococcus, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Candida spp. andSaccharomyces spp., such as Saccharomyces cerevisae.

Antimycotic Activity

In addition, the inventive combinations also have very good antimycoticactivity. They have a very broad antimycotic activity spectrum,especially against dermatophytes and yeasts, moulds and diphasic fungi(for example against Candida species, such as C. albicans, C. glabrata),and Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus species, such as A. niger andA. fuimigatus, Trichophyton species, such as T. mentagrophytes,Microsporon species such as M. canis and M. audouinii. The list of thesefungi by no means constitutes a restriction of the mycotic spectrumcovered, and is merely of illustrative character.

The inventive combinations can therefore be used both in medical and innon-medical applications.

GMO

As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and theirparts in accordance with the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wildplant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventionalbiological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, andalso parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment,transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineeringmethods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods(Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. Theterms “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” have been explainedabove. More preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which arecommercially available or are in use are treated in accordance with theinvention. Plant cultivars are understood to mean plants which have newproperties (“traits”) and have been obtained by conventional breeding,by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. They can be cultivars,varieties, bio- or genotypes.

The method of treatment according to the invention can be used in thetreatment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), e.g. plants orseeds. Genetically modified plants (or transgenic plants) are plants ofwhich a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into genome. Theexpression “heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which isprovided or assembled outside the plant and when introduced in thenuclear, chloroplastic or mitochondrial genome gives the transformedplant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing aprotein or polypeptide of interest or by downregulating or silencingother gene(s) which are present in the plant (using for example,antisense technology, cosuppression technology, RNAinterference—RNAi—technology or microRNA—miRNA—technology). Aheterologous gene that is located in the genome is also called atransgene. A transgene that is defined by its particular location in theplant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location andgrowth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), thetreatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive(“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application ratesand/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in theactivity of the active compounds and compositions which can be usedaccording to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance tohigh or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water orsoil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting,accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, largerplant height, greener leaf color, earlier flowering, higher qualityand/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, highersugar concentration within the fruits, better storage stability and/orprocessability of the harvested products are possible, which exceed theeffects which were actually to be expected.

At certain application rates, the combinations according to theinvention may also have a strengthening effect in plants. Accordingly,they are also suitable for mobilizing the defense system of the plantagainst attack by unwanted microorganisms. This may, if appropriate, beone of the reasons of the enhanced activity of the combinationsaccording to the invention, for example against fungi.Plant-strengthening (resistanceinducing) substances are to be understoodas meaning, in the present context, those substances or combinations ofsubstances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of plantsin such a way that, when subsequently inoculated with unwantedmicroorganisms, the treated plants display a substantial degree ofresistance to these microorganisms. In the present case, unwantedmicroorganisms are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi,bacteria and viruses. Thus, the substances according to the inventioncan be employed for protecting plants against attack by theabovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after thetreatment. The period of time within which protection is effectedgenerally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after thetreatment of the plants with the active compounds.

Plants and plant cultivars which are preferably to be treated accordingto the invention include all plants which have genetic material whichimpart particularly advantageous, useful traits to these plants (whetherobtained by breeding and/or biotechnological means).

Plants and plant cultivars which are also preferably to be treatedaccording to the combinations are resistant against one or more bioticstresses, i.e. said plants show a better defense against animal andmicrobial pests, such as against nematodes, insects, mites,phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids.

Examples of nematode or insect resistant plants are described in e.g.U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/765,491, 11/765,494, 10/926,819,10/782,020, 12/032,479, 10/783,417, 10/782,096, 11/657,964, 12/192,904,11/396,808, 12/166,253, 12/166,239, 12/166,124, 12/166,209, 11/762,886,12/364,335, 11/763,947, 12/252,453, 12/209,354, 12/491,396, 12/497,221,12/644,632, 12/646,004, 12/701,058, 12/718,059, 12/721,595, 12/638,591.

Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to theinvention are those plants which are resistant to one or more abioticstresses. Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought,cold temperature exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, flooding,increased soil salinity, increased mineral exposure, ozone exposure,high light exposure, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limitedavailability of phosphorus nutrients, shade avoidance.

Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to theinvention, are those plants characterized by enhanced yieldcharacteristics. Increased yield in said plants can be the result of,for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such aswater use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use,enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increasedgermination efficiency and accelerated maturation. Yield can furthermorebe affected by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stressconditions), including but not limited to, early flowering, floweringcontrol for hybrid seed production, seedling vigor, plant size,internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, podsize, pod or ear number, seed number per pod or ear, seed mass, enhancedseed filling, reduced seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodgingresistance. Further yield traits include seed composition, such ascarbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and composition,nutritional value, reduction in antinutritional compounds, improvedprocessability and better storage stability.

Plants that may be treated according to the invention are hybrid plantsthat already express the characteristic of heterosis or hybrid vigorwhich results in generally higher yield, vigor, health and resistancetowards biotic and abiotic stresses). Such plants are typically made bycrossing an inbred male-sterile parent line (the female parent) withanother inbred male-fertile parent line (the male parent). Hybrid seedis typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to growers.Male sterile plants can sometimes (e.g. in corn) be produced bydetasseling, i.e. the mechanical removal of the male reproductive organs(or males flowers) but, more typically, male sterility is the result ofgenetic determinants in the plant genome. In that case, and especiallywhen seed is the desired product to be harvested from the hybrid plantsit is typically useful to ensure that male fertility in the hybridplants is fully restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that themale parents have appropriate fertility restorer genes which are capableof restoring the male fertility in hybrid plants that contain thegenetic determinants responsible for male-sterility. Geneticdeterminants for male sterility may be located in the cytoplasm.Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance describedin Brassica species (WO 92/05251, WO 95/09910, WO 98/27806, WO05/002324, WO 06/021972 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,229,072). However, geneticdeterminants for male sterility can also be located in the nucleargenome. Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnologymethods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means ofobtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, forexample, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in thetapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored byexpression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such asbarstar (e.g. WO 91/02069).

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods suchas genetic engineering) which may be treated according to the inventionare herbicide-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or moregiven herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetictransformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutationimparting such herbicide tolerance.

Herbicide-resistant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants,i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof.Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means. Forexample, glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming theplant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphatesynthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutantCT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (Science 1983, 221,370-371), the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp. (Curr. TopicsPlant Physiol. 1992, 7, 139-145), the genes encoding a Petunia EPSPS(Science 1986, 233, 478-481), a Tomato EPSPS (J. Biol. Chem. 1988, 263,4280-4289), or an Eleusine EPSPS (WO 01/66704). It can also be a mutatedEPSPS as described in for example EP 0837944, WO 00/66746, WO 00/66747or WO 02/26995. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained byexpressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxido-reductase enzyme asdescribed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,776,760 and 5,463,175. Glyphosate-tolerantplants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes aglyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme as described in for example WO02/036782, WO 03/092360, WO 2005/012515 and WO 2007/024782.Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plantscontaining naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes,as described in for example WO 01/024615 or WO 03/013226. Plantsexpressing EPSPS genes that confer glyphosate tolerance are described ine.g. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/517,991, 10/739,610,12/139,408, 12/352,532, 11/312,866, 11/315,678, 12/421,292, 11/400,598,11/651,752, 11/681,285, 11/605,824, 12/468,205, 11/760,570, 11/762,526,11/769,327, 11/769,255, 11/943,801 or 12/362,774. Plants comprisingother genes that confer glyphosate tolerance, such as decarboxylasegenes, are described in e.g. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos.11/588,811, 11/185,342, 12/364,724, 11/185,560 or 12/423,926.

Other herbicide resistant plants are for example plants that are madetolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such asbialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtainedby expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutaminesynthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition, e.g. described in U.S.patent application Ser. No. 11/760,602. One such efficient detoxifyingenzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (suchas the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species). Plants expressingan exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are for exampledescribed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,561,236; 5,648,477; 5,646,024; 5,273,894;5,637,489; 5,276,268; 5,739,082; 5,908,810 and 7,112,665.

Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants that are made tolerantto the herbicides inhibiting the enzyme hydroxyphenylpymvatedioxygenase(HPPD). HPPD is an enzyme that catalyze the reaction in whichparahydroxyphenylpymrvate (HPP) is transformed into homogentisate.Plants tolerant to HPPD-inhibitors can be transformed with a geneencoding a naturally-occurring resistant HPPD enzyme, or a gene encodinga mutated or chimeric HPPD enzyme as described in WO 96/38567, WO99/24585, WO 99/24586, WO 09/144079, WO 02/046387, or U.S. Pat. No.6,768,044. Tolerance to HPPD-inhibitors can also be obtained bytransforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes enabling theformation of homogentisate despite the inhibition of the native HPPDenzyme by the HPPD-inhibitor. Such plants and genes are described in WO99/34008 and WO 02/36787. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors canalso be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding an enzymehaving prephenate deshydrogenase (PDH) activity in addition to a geneencoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme, as described in WO 04/024928. Further,plants can be made more tolerant to HPPD-inhibitor herbicides by addinginto their genome a gene encoding an enzyme capable of metabolizing ordegrading HPPD inhibitors, such as the CYP450 enzymes shown in WO2007/103567 and WO 2008/150473.

Still further herbicide resistant plants are plants that are madetolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS-inhibitorsinclude, for example, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines,plyimidinyoxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinoneherbicides. Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known asacetohydroxyacid synthase, AHAS) are known to confer tolerance todifferent herbicides and groups of herbicides, as described for examplein Tranel and Wright (Weed Science 2002, 50, 700-712), but also, in U.S.Pat. Nos. 5,605,011, 5,378,824, 5,141,870, and 5,013,659. The productionof sulfonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants isdescribed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,605,011; 5,013,659; 5,141,870; 5,767,361;5,731,180; 5,304,732; 4,761,373; 5,331,107; 5,928,937; and 5,378,824;and WO 96/33270. Other imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also describedin for example WO 2004/040012, WO 2004/106529, WO 2005/020673, WO2005/093093, WO 2006/007373, WO 2006/015376, WO 2006/024351, and WO2006/060634. Further sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants arealso described in for example WO 2007/024782 and U.S. Patent Application61/288,958.

Other plants tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulfonylurea can beobtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in thepresence of the herbicide or mutation breeding as described for examplefor soybeans in U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,082, for rice in WO 97/41218, forsugar beet in U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,702 and WO 99/057965, for lettuce inU.S. Pat. No. 5,198,599, or for sunflower in WO 01/065922.

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods suchas genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to theinvention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants maderesistant to attack by certain target insects. Such plants can beobtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containinga mutation imparting such insect resistance.

An “insect-resistant transgenic plant”, as used herein, includes anyplant containing at least one transgene comprising a coding sequenceencoding:

1) an insecticidal crystal protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or aninsecticidal portion thereof, such as the insecticidal crystal proteinslisted by Crickmore et al. (1998, Microbiology and Molecular BiologyReviews, 62: 807-813), updated by Crickmore et al. (2005) at theBacillus thuringiensis toxin nomenclature, online at:http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/Home/Neil_Crickmore/Bt/), orinsecticidal portions thereof, e.g., proteins of the Cry protein classesCry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry B, Cry1C, Cry1D, Cry1F, Cry2Ab, Cry3Aa, or Cry3Bb orinsecticidal portions thereof (e.g. EP-A 1 999 141 and WO 2007/107302),or such proteins encoded by synthetic genes as e.g. described in andU.S. patent application Ser.

-   -   in the case of treatment of plant parts, for example leaves:        from 0.1 to 10 000 g/ha, preferably from 10 to 1000 g/ha, more        preferably from 10 to 800 g/ha, even more preferably from 50 to        300 g/ha (in the case of application by watering or dripping, it        is even possible to reduce the application rate, especially when        inert substrates such as rockwool or perlite are used);    -   in the case of seed treatment: from 2 to 200 g per 100 kg of        seed, preferably from 3 to 150 g per 100 kg of seed, more        preferably from 2.5 to 25 g per 100 kg of seed, even more        preferably from 2.5 to 12.5 g per 100 kg of seed;    -   in the case of soil treatment: from 0.1 to 10 000 g/ha,        preferably from 1 to 5000 g/ha.

These application rates are merely by way of example and are notlimiting for the purposes of the invention.

The inventive compositions can thus be used to protect plants fromattack by the pathogens mentioned for a certain period of time aftertreatment. The period for which protection is provided extends generallyfor 1 to 28 days, preferably for 1 to 14 days, more preferably for 1 to10 days, most preferably for 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of theplants with the active ingredients, or for up to 200 days after a seedtreatment.

The method of treatment according to the invention also provides the useor application of compounds (A) and (B) and/or (C) in a simultaneous,separate or sequential manner. If the single active ingredients areapplied in a sequential manner, i.e. at different times, they areapplied one after the other within a reasonably short period, such as afew hours or days. Preferably the order of applying the compounds (A)and (B) and/or (C) is not essential for working the present invention.

The plants listed can particularly advantageously be treated inaccordance with the invention with the compounds of the general formula(I) and the inventive compositions. The preferred ranges stated abovefor the active ingredients or compositions also apply to the treatmentof these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plantswith the compounds or compositions specifically mentioned in the presenttext.

The advanced fungicidal activity of the active compound combinationsaccording to the invention is evident from the example below. While theindividual active compounds exhibit weaknesses with regard to thefungicidal activity, the combinations have an activity which exceeds asimple addition of activities.

A synergistic effect of fungicides is always present when the fungicidalactivity of the active compound combinations exceeds the total of theactivities of the active compounds when applied individually.

The expected activity for a given combination of two active compoundscan be calculated as follows (cf. Colby, S. R., “Calculating Synergisticand Antagonistic Responses of Herbicide Combinations”, Weeds 1967, 15,20-22):

If

-   X is the efficacy when active compound A is applied at an    application rate of m ppm (or g/ha),-   Y is the efficacy when active compound B is applied at an    application rate of n ppm (or g/ha),-   E is the efficacy when the active compounds A and B are applied at    application rates of m and n ppm (or g/ha), respectively, and

then

$E = {X + Y - \frac{X \cdot Y}{100}}$

The degree of efficacy, expressed in % is denoted. 0% means an efficacywhich corresponds to that of the control while an efficacy of 100% meansthat no disease is observed.

If the actual fungicidal activity exceeds the calculated value, then theactivity of the combination is superadditive, i.e. a synergistic effectexists. In this case, the efficacy which was actually observed must begreater than the value for the expected efficacy (E) calculated from theabovementioned formula.

A further way of demonstrating a synergistic effect is the method ofTammes (cf. “Isoboles, a graphic representation of synergism inpesticides” in Neth. J. Plant Path., 1964, 70, 73-80).

The invention is illustrated by the following examples. However theinvention is not limited to the examples.

Example 1

Alternaria Test (Tomatoes)/Preventive

Solvent: 24.5 parts by weight of acetone 24.5 parts by weight ofdimethylacetamide Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycolether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weightof active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent andemulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desiredconcentration.

To test for preventive activity, young plants are sprayed with thepreparation of active compound at the stated rate of application. Afterthe spray coating has dried on, the plants are inoculated with anaqueous spore suspension of Alternaria solani. The plants are thenplaced in an incubation cabinet at approximately 20° C. and a relativeatmospheric humidity of 100%.

The test is evaluated 3 days after the inoculation. 0% means an efficacywhich corresponds to that of the untreated control while an efficacy of100% means that no disease is observed. the untreated control, while anefficacy of 100% means that no disease is observed.

The table below clearly shows that the observed activity of the activecompound combination according to the invention is greater than thecalculated activity, i.e. a synergistic effect is present.
